SO, this Braun kid slots in on the wing?
or is to be our star center forward?
Or to be some kind of slot man?
Or ?
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
braun is a decent pickup for arron maund, 25 goals in 110 games isnt awesome but shows some skills
1 goal per 4.5 matches. That is about the 3rd best rate on our club behind Hassli and Koevermans, no?

Evil will always triumph over good because good is dumb.

something tells me a 6"3 striker is something we can utilize with two poachers up front.
especially a guy who found great form in chivas doing a similar thing.
I'm curious to see how Maund does under a different coach and conversely how Braun does under Mariner (assuming he's still around).
BTW, what's going on at RSL ?
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
Facebook comment from Limpact fan: "You can have him! He did NOTHING for Impact and Jesse Marsch gave him PLENTY of playing time to prove himself. He never did. Way to go TFC. Looking forward to that Voyageur Cup semi-final!"

Very interesting. If you look at his goals-per-shot ratio it's better than 1-in-4 (Andy Cole was famously over four during his productive partnership with Dwight Yorke at Man U.), but he only average about 1.3 shots per game, which for a striker is very poor.
The knock on him from past coaches was that he had raw talent but was behind in developing at the pro level because he didn't start training properly until he was 20. These numbers suggest good foot skills, probably good in the air, but can't make his own chances. A poacher, basically, but based on his poor shot total one with positioning/anticipation issues.
Braun for Maund, it's TFC's new team building strategy, trade players for one's who have rhyming names, next its Frings for Ching
